Stellar Blade Trophy Guide: Quick Info
The list contains major boss and ending spoilers. There are no manual save slots, so a PlayStation Plus cloud backup is the safest way to preserve the final choice. The wider PlayStation Trophies wiki uses the same distinction between base trophies and separate add-on groups.
Stellar Blade Platinum Roadmap
Phase 1: Complete Everything Before Spire 4
Play on Story Mode for the easiest route. Finish side missions, scan every area, open boxes, activate camps, and collect records, cans, Nano Suits, cores, passcodes, and upgrade materials as you progress.
Aim for 100 percent Lily affinity on this run. Records and selected quests raise her meter, and full affinity unlocks Eidos 9. Complete every Xion quest and collectible before agreeing to leave after Abyss Levoire, which is the first point of no return.
Phase 2: Finish Eidos 9 and the Collectible Cleanup
Accept Lily's Eidos 9 detour, then complete Spire 4. Before leaving with Lily afterward, earn every available collectible and combat trophy. Meticulous Explorer should show 87 of 89 camps, while Naytiba Researcher should show 63 of 67 entries. The final area supplies the rest.
Stellar Blade is mechanically easier than the Black Myth: Wukong trophy route because no difficulty setting is required, but its one-save structure needs stricter planning.
Phase 3: Get Two Endings From the First Run
Upload the autosave before the final choice in the Nest and disable automatic cloud syncing. Refuse Adam's hand first for Return to the Colony and the Elder Naytiba entries. Restore the backup, take his hand, and defeat Providence for Making New Memories.
Without cloud storage, Continue may return you to the choice after a first-attempt boss win. Dying can move the autosave beyond the branch, which is why the backup is safer.
Phase 4: Low-Affinity New Game Plus
Start New Game Plus and rush the story while skipping side missions, Memory Sticks, and Documents. Lily must remain below 100 percent, and she must not take you to Eidos 9. Take Adam's hand for Cost of Lost Memories.
Complete the run for Repeating Protocols and learn the 12 added skills for Infinite Blade. Neither Bronze trophy is required for the Platinum, but both fit naturally into this playthrough.
Points of No Return
| Point | Trigger | What It Locks | What to Finish First |
|---|---|---|---|
| First | Agree to leave after Abyss Levoire | Xion's city area, Xion collectibles, and side missions | All side stories, requests, shops, and Xion items |
| Second | Leave with Lily after Spire 4 | Every earlier region and its remaining content | Collectibles, combat counters, quests, boxes, and camps |
The first lockout has a clear warning. Treat the post-Spire 4 Safehouse visit as the final cleanup stop even though the second warning is less explicit. New Game Plus carries progress forward, but finishing the collectible-heavy trophies on the first run avoids unnecessary repetition.
Endings and How to Get All Three
| Ending Trophy | Lily Requirement | Final Choice |
|---|---|---|
| Return to the Colony | Any affinity | Refuse Adam's hand |
| Making New Memories | Reach 100 percent and visit Eidos 9 | Take Adam's hand |
| Cost of Lost Memories | Stay below 100 percent and skip Eidos 9 | Take Adam's hand |
Return to the Colony can share a run with either hand-taking ending. Making New Memories and Cost of Lost Memories cannot share a normal run because their Lily conditions conflict. The safest route is a full-completion first playthrough for the first two endings, followed by a low-affinity New Game Plus run for the third.

Collectibles Overview
Use the scanner whenever you enter a room, rooftop, tunnel, or open-world ruin. Several categories have more items than their trophy requires, but cans, camps, and Naytiba entries need complete sets.
| Category | Requirement | Planning Note |
|---|---|---|
| Cans | 49 | The Safehouse vending machine tracks them |
| Nano Suits | 30 | More than 30 are available |
| Data Bank records | 200 | Memory Sticks, Documents, and Passcodes count |
| Fish | 20 species | Complete the fishing quest chain and vary bait |
| Boxes | 200 unique | Reopening the same box in New Game Plus does not count |
| Naytiba data | 67 | Reach 63 before the Nest, then use Return to the Colony |
| Camps | 89 | Reach 87 before the Nest |
| Exospines | Enhance 10 | Twelve base Exospines provide a small margin |
| Body Cores | 18 | Every three cores raises maximum HP |
| Beta Cores | 18 | Every three cores raises maximum Beta Energy |
| Tumbler modules | 15 | Every three modules adds one charge |
Box Hunter is the least transparent requirement because there is no regional box checklist. Open containers during the story and search the Wasteland and Great Desert thoroughly instead of leaving all 200 for cleanup.
Missable Trophies in Stellar Blade
Only automatic story trophies are safe from the lockouts. Side stories, optional bosses, collectibles, upgrades, combat counters, and all three endings can be missed during a playthrough.
The first point threatens Beyond Fate, Sisterly Love, Beep!, Brute, Behemoth, and Xion content. The second threatens everything still unfinished. Cost of Lost Memories is also easy to block because enough records and quests will raise Lily to 100 percent.
Nothing is permanently unobtainable because New Game Plus allows another route, but the single autosave prevents a normal rollback.
General Tips and the Combat Trophies
Combat and Difficulty
Story Mode does not disable trophies. Action Assist, Reflex Boost, Focus Boost, and the Reflex-Type Exospine make the 200 Perfect Dodges and 300 Perfect Parries more forgiving. Blink and Repulse do not count as Perfect Dodges.
The timing has similarities to the Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty trophy guide, although Story Mode removes much of the mechanical pressure. Practice against an enemy with a long repeatable combo, then parry or dodge without immediately killing it.
Kill Counters
Unlock Ambush early for execution kills. Rotate Beta Skills, Burst Skills, ranged attacks, and Tachy Mode during exploration so their counters advance alongside Cruel Liberator. Altess Levoire and Abyss Levoire provide substantial ranged progress.
Skills and Upgrades
Equip Training Gear to gain SP faster. Thorough Technician needs the 96 original skills, while Infinite Blade needs the 12 New Game Plus additions. Those added skills cost 72 SP, but you can refund the Attack, Survival, and Tachy trees to recover most of it.
Hardest Trophies and How to Get Them
Records Collector
Collect records from the start and clear Xion before the first lockout. You need 200 unique entries rather than every record, so thorough exploration gives you a useful margin.
Box Hunter
Scan constantly and open every container you see. Different boxes count, but repeated boxes in New Game Plus do not. The two open-world regions are the best places to recover a shortfall.
Cost of Lost Memories
Reserve this ending for the New Game Plus speedrun. Skip optional records and side missions, confirm Lily does not request Eidos 9, then take Adam's hand in the Nest.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to platinum Stellar Blade?
Stellar Blade takes around 30 to 70 hours, with collectible hunting creating most of the variation.
How hard is the Stellar Blade Platinum?
The Platinum is about 3/10 on Story Mode, placing it among the easier PlayStation Platinums. Route planning is harder than the combat.
Are there missable trophies in Stellar Blade?
Yes. Most non-story trophies can be locked out by the two points of no return, although New Game Plus can recover them.
How many playthroughs are needed?
Two are enough with a cloud backup or a successful final-boss reload. A third may be needed if the ending branch is overwritten.
Does difficulty affect trophies?
No. The base list and both New Game Plus trophies can be earned on Story Mode.
What is the hardest trophy?
Records Collector and Box Hunter demand the most exploration, while the endings require the most careful routing.
Are the New Game Plus trophies required for the Platinum?
No. Repeating Protocols and Infinite Blade are separate Bronze trophies and do not count toward EVE Protocol.
Does Stellar Blade have a PS4 trophy list?
No. There is no PS4 version, PS4 save transfer, or PS4-to-PS5 autopop route.
A clean first run leaves only the low-affinity ending and New Game Plus skills for cleanup. DamnModz PlayStation trophy services can help when another full route is the remaining obstacle.
